1, 2, 3...PLAY!

After seven years of dancing alone on the shores of Cannon Beach, I had five others join me last night.   It's been a big dream of mine to bring movement and music outdoors and facilitate dance classes on the beach.  Six of us danced together in the sand, surf and sun in celebration of the warmest day of the year so far.  As I watched these five other people experience dancing on the beach for the first time, I was profoundly moved by their new-found delight.  The moment you see a dream made real makes you believe anything is possible.  I was so flippin' happy I couldn't stop laughing.   

The wonderful technology made available by Apple made it possible for us to each have our own dance while dancing together.   A few weeks ago, I took a financial leap towards this dream and purchased fifteen iPod shuffles.  After synching the hour-long playlist to each device, we were able to listen to the same songs at the same time.  We gathered in a circle for a few moments for instruction-giving and intention-setting and then at the sound of my voice saying, "1,2,3...PLAY!," we pressed the button and we were off.

As the six of us danced in the sand, surf and sun, it was the perfect way to celebrate the warmest day of the year and the long-held wishes of my heart.  It was an experience I'll never forget.  And to think that last night was just the beginning...

Congratulations, Lisa! What greater joy could there be than to see the long-ago-planted seeds finally poke their heads up out of the ground, to make a Spring-related analogy?

Here's to your group growing and growing, and the magic doing nothing but encompassing Cannon Beach as has never been seen.
